The Corps had no provisions with them. Lieut. HENDERSON and two British soldiers were without provisions for t 3 1 ,0 days. General Mescal. said ,he could not help it, as the whole army was in the same situation. • We received ibis morning Portugnese Papers to the 17th init 7 the contents of which are given in a, subsequent column. Thit morning We received Hambuigh Papers to the leth inst. The .details which they bring us from the teat of war are not of so late a date as those which had previously reached us. The accounts from Vienna state, that very consid , :rable prepara tions were made for the defence of Vienna, and of the position of St. Polten, and we are inclined to think, that the resistance whiCh was made was Much more determined than &lONA rA Eag chooses to acknowledge in his Seventh Bulbul in. "We have no account of the losses which the French sustained, or of the opposition which they encountered, but the Bulletin Commences with)~ the arrival of the army at Vienna, and from the Coarse and illiberal abuse with Which the Archduke Mextietietee is honoured by B(IONAPAUTO, we are convinced that the resistance which was 'made at Vienna, short as it undoubtedly was, has considerably disconcerted his plans: If we are to believe t be French accounts; they have scarcely met with any resistance since the Battle of Ratis bon ; but µ e are convinced that their progress, will henceforth cot be so rapid. FrOtu the period that the Archduke CHAIMICS was forced to cross the Pauube at Ratisbon, it was foreseen that' no effeelted resistance could be opposed to BUONAPAIITO) .ad vance to Vienna, and therefore the Archduke hits since that time been taking measures for the proted tion .of Hungary and Bohemia ; though we are conviuced that the French did not reach Vienna without %Ivry considerable loss. We again repeat, that if 4UUNAPART4 should receive any check, or even if the Austrians should be able to protract the war, Buotseemers will be placed in a more dangerous situation than he has ever been since his tilevatimi to SuVereign Power. The whole populationof. the - Tyrol are up in arms against the trench, and they have pushed forward detachments as• far as Keen plen and even excited considerable alarm at Del talkie as almost .the wholesavarian Army has been dragged. cia to slaughter by litioneeesere.
